It’s a New Year and a New Opportunity to Shine!

I’m curious how many of you out there choose a new ‘Word of the Year’? A word that encompasses something that you need to concentrate on in order to become a better you in 2018.  My word last year, was ‘Balance’.  As soon as I selected my word, I started to see the word everywhere I looked.  I needed to find balance in my life. I learned to balance my time with God, my husband, my family, my work, my new business, and self-development.  It was a great year and now that I have developed a better sense of balance, this year I have chosen the word ‘Focus’.

FOCUS

The word ‘Focus’ for me is so important, because I have balanced out what is important to me, but now I truly need to focus on what is most important and truly focus my time and attention to just that.  It is so easy to be distracted by things like TV, Facebook, Social Media, Facebook, just doing nothing, Amazon, Facebook, etc. LOL – you get the picture I’m sure. So instead of just saying, “this is what I’m going to focus on”, I now have come up with to-do’s for these areas I plan to focus on.  It’s about setting goals and then checking them off one by one!  By structuring and planning my time better, I will be able to focus more on the tasks at hand and have more time available to me to focus on the other areas!

It’s funny, when I came on here to write a post, the last post came up and there it was right in title “Keep Your Focus on God”!  I receive Signs from God all the time, and this was just yet another one to add to my never-ending list of signs!  And thank him for every last one of them!  I’ve tried in the past to start my day with God, and I do for a while, but life creeps in the way and then you get out of the habit. Of course I always spend time with God, but it is so much nicer asking God to come with you and guide you throughout your day.  This year as I focus on these key areas of life, God is definitely one of them. I am committing to start my day every day with God first thing in the morning. I love my coffee time with God and thorough enjoy reading my daily devotional books by Sarah Young!  She truly has you believing you are communicating directly with God!  Her reading has changed my life!

I strongly encourage you to pick your word for the year if you haven’t yet. Don’t be surprised how many times you begin spot your word everywhere!  Focus on what’s important to you!

We are a mother and daughter team following God's lead to inspire others. The inspiration for all of our work began in 1980. My mother suffered from a nervous breakdown after suffering for five years before she experienced a miraculous healing where God breathed life back into her and did what the doctors couldn't. Since 1980, it has been our goal to tell her story and share her testimony; however, things always seemed to get in the way. Fast forward 35 years forward and God began giving us signs that now was the time. Both of us had received signs from God over the years, and in 2014 it was apparent that it was time to finally move forward with our writing journey. I started documenting my signs from God, and then one day after praying to God I heard this relentless voice urging me to put a post on Facebook asking others for their signs from God and their loved ones. This was way out of my comfort zone, but I listened to that voice, and could not believe the outcome. The stories started flowing in so fast I couldn't keep up with them. It was apparent this was a God-driven task, and the outcome was amazing. I had never written a book before, but God led me every step of the way until it was published. Signs come in many different forms, and this book captures many of them from pennies, to feathers, to dreams, dream visits, and even spiritual encounters. It will leave you wanting to hear more, and we have so much more to tell! This book includes my mother's testimony of her miraculous healing, and it is now our goal to depict those five agonizing years of her life into a biography. You will be able to relive with us that horrific ordeal through the eyes of the mother who was trapped in her own body, and the daughter watching her once loving mother, now in a catatonic state-of-mind during a very vulnerable age when she needed her mother the most. This has been the driving force behind our writing journey and all of the inspirational messages we wish to share with others that may be struggling or needing to recognize their own signs from God.

    1. Sissy – I bought her book, Jesus Calling (Morning & Night) edition, two years ago and read it every day for two years. This year, I bought her book, Jesus Always, and now I read that along with Jesus Calling! Both are written as if Jesus is talking directly to you! I have received so many signs reading her books! Highly recommend!
